My Heroic Ballads

Today we celebrate the birthday of Booth Tarkington, born in 1869. It was great fun reading his book Penrod And Sam, and trying to think of ways to get into as much fun trouble as those two young lads musta had.

Yesterday a bunch of us guys moved the Middleham Chapel baptismal font to its newly assigned location necessitated by the installation of the new organ.

Now, this baptismal font consists of four parts. The base, which weighs about 9,716,482 pounds, the pillar, which weighs about 472,168 pounds, the bowl, which weighs about 8,473 pounds, and the lid, which weighs only a measly 83 pounds because it's gotta be lifted off and on by two acolytes for baptisms.

So with handle-trolleys and ropes and pulleys and all our might, we got it moved to the canonically valid location.

At least the head boss preacher decreed it's the canonically valid location. Since religion is all make-believe anyhow, the preacher can make-believe anything he jolly well pleases as long as he can convince the congregation that it's theologically correct.

Well anyhow, today is Wednesday, the longest day of the week, the only day that's nine letters long. In keeping with that marvelous revelation, there'll be enough time to enjoy both the rain and sunshine that the Wondrous Weather Website is predicting.

Happy Longest Day Of The Week!
